The study of mathematics fosters the development of clear and logical thinking, precision in communication, and the ability to reason quantitatively.  Using a traditional, yet progressive progression of college-preparatory courses, the mathematics curriculum of Queen Anne School seeks to encourage student growth and proficiency in these areas.  Each student is allowed the opportunity according to interest and talent to develop fully in the subject through a variety of available courses.  Queen Anne School uses a detailed placement system for both new and current students to ensure that the course they take matches their background while pushing them to meet their full potential. 

     Students should be thoroughly grounded in the fundamentals of mathematics. They should be able to draw upon previously learned material, connect mathematical topics and apply these in practical situations.  They should be able to do this confidently and effectively, by themselves and in cooperation with others.  Queen Anne School mathematics students are able not only to solve problems, but apply their skills to real situations.  Mathematics is about more than numbers and formulas, and our students are, on a daily basis, challenged to think critically and analytically.

      The teachers seek to keep well informed of emerging technology and teaching methods.  They read current literature in their field, belong to professional organizations, attend suitable conferences and courses, and utilize this knowledge in their instruction.
